A few minutes earlier, or so it seemed.
I was in Ra's sunship, but suddenly, I blinked and arrived in this place.
My surroundings were dark, but there were faint lights that allowed me to see some things. Even so, I felt annoyed.
"Chaos flame," I said, summoning my flame. However, to my surprise, I couldn't for some reason. Anyway, I still can see a bit.
I was on a stone path, floating in the air, with nothing in its surroundings. The lights were coming from lamps along the road.
With no other choice, I strode along it. For what felt like hours, I finally saw something different than the usual boring stuff.
A large statue was in front of me. It was of a man, wearing traditional Egyptian garbs, though he was bare-chested. His head, however, was that of a jackal. In his left arm, he held a long staff.
"Anubis? I'm in the Egyptian Underworld Branch? Dammit how did I die?!" I shouted in the empty dark space.
"Quite!" a voice snapped. I looked around but saw no one, which reverted my eyes back on my stepson's statue.
"You have some nerve, Anubis," I sneered.
"Continue forward like all the others do, Set, or I will be forced to wipe your soul!" Anubis replied as the statue's eyes glowed.
"Pfffffft! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... What's up with everyone being so damn arrogant these days? You should have some respect for me, boy, or else maybe I will wipe you out."
A sneer came from Anubis' statue, "Do you really think I would be here, 'father'? I am not so foolish as my aunt was."
"Ah right! Isis should have arrived by now."
"Yes, two hundred years ago."
"What? How can that be? I just killed her."
"And why should I tell you? Now, proceed!" Anubis commanded.
Seeing that I cannot kill him, and that I cannot do anything else, I went forward while cursing.
Soon, a round hall appeared in the dark void. The doors were open, unsurprisingly welcoming.
I had half a mind to cause mischief, but I was too bored to do anything really. So I entered.
As soon as I entered, an old, but somehow familiar voice echoed through the hall, "Step forward into the Ring of Judgment."
